Title: If you had to choose 1?
Post by: Mole trapper on March 17, 2024, 02:23:17 PM

Hi all,
Can't seem to see it's been done before,  so here goes! If you had to choose one broadhead to cover all of your hunting,  what would you choose? Actually,  let's make it a bit easier,  your chosen 3 and in what order?

ACE or Zwikie Delta  equally either one. :thumbsup:

I have the zwickey selection here,  only in screw in variety though,  really good for little money. I have some ace on order, hopefully one day they will arrive.

Definitely done before, and not that long ago.  Hopefully someone can post the link.

Abowyer heads are my number 1 choice, if cost is an issue I'll go with Magnus heads.

ACE, Magnus Mag, Snuffer.  Perhaps Abowyer.

I doubt that it needs to be deleted.  Others may not have seen the post like you.  Here is the link though:

I have not heard of the Abowyer heads, I will have to check them out.

I'll stay with my Zwickey heads. They've been working for me for many years. Plus I have a bunch.

Zwickey are good solid heads 👌
I have been looking into the Abowyer heads after the 2 recommendations above,  the 200 and 250 really appeal. I'm still struggling to get hold of any bullheads in either size, which is annoying.

If the criteria is that I have a bunch, then the list is long!!!

I love alot of different heads I love  ACE, STOS, Abowyer, original Magnus 1's  but if I could only have just one it be a big one  especially for birds...

160gr snuffer without a doubt the next two are if someone stole my snuffer horde  :biglaugh:..
200gr treeshark
250gr centaur big game

Big Snuffer (I have some rare 190 grain), but mostly 160 grain beauties.  Ribteck 190 grain (indestructible), Centaur Big Game 170 grain, Battle axe, if I find some.  Grizzly Instinct 190 grain from the very first run. That should hold me for a bit.  Maybe Abowyer Wapiti(175 grain), Bonehead Large (210 grain).

I have a lot of different heads but if I could only use one it would be Simmons. Big enough so you don't need a three blade and penetrate excellent. Leaves a huge whole like a three or four blade.

Have to give my Centaur Big Game heads a go!!!  See how they compare to big three blades.

Easy, big Snuffer. But I might be biased.   :goldtooth:

Only time I ever changed was for water buffalo in Australia, I used STOS that I modified to more of a rounded chisel point.

I’ve killed the biggest game animals in North America (AK and Canadian moose, muskox) with the Snuffers, no issues whatsoever, so I don’t see a reason to change. With the 250 or so that I have laying around I should be set.

Ryan, have you ever thought of resurrecting your Dads broadheads? If it is even possible??   :goldtooth: :goldtooth:

Many great suggestions, a big three blade is hard to beat.

Might give a nod to Grizzly Instinct 3 blades.  Good solid head.
